Nanoform 15120, an addition to the ProtoComposites product line, is said to be the first composite stereolithography material to incorporate nanoparticle technology. It exhibits many of the properties of fused deposition and glass-filled polyamide sintering materials, yet has the accuracy and precision needed for stereolithograpy. Mechanical properties include a better than 5,000-MPa modules and an HDT temperature performance that exceeds 132°C.
According to the vendor, the composite technology of NanoForm 15120 gives it exceptional dimensional stability, low shrink properties, and low coefficient of thermal linear expansion. The unique material offers an alternative to other stereolithography and selective laser sintering products. At the same time, it is processed like unreinforced liquid stereolithographic liquids, requiring neither mixing nor other special handling
